There's a wonderful super devotee guy who is worried about his mother. She is an ex-devotee who is no longer interested in Krishna. Won't he because he is her son be able to take her back to Godhead too? How exactly does that work? Thanks

PAMHO Shravan Prabhu,
yes, You are right we can not skip 1st, ... stages. And all of us some how or other struggling to serve to Krishna according to our capacity. and we are praying to Krishna to engage us with more and more service, to have opportunity to associate with Devotees, always have opportunity to attend Sankirtana.
It is easy to say Trinadapi sunichena than done.
Feeling oneself lower than straw in the street only comes from following the 1st Instruction of Sankirtana.
We can all pretend to to humble, or genuinely try with our effort to be humble. However, the humility that comes naturally by following our Guru and instructions of Mahaprabhu is the essence of 3rd Instruction of Sri Caitanya.
Real humility comes only from Following the 1st instruction of Mahaprabhu, Ceto Darpana Marjanam....
Only by following the 1st instruction of Sankirtana, we can realize a higher level of devotion,... ie 2nd instruction and later to 3rd Instruction. It is not possible to become humble directly skipping the 1st 2 instruction.
Many devotees including myself aspiring for Krishna Prema and unwilling to do Sankirtana.
I feel sad that I dont have enough attachment to performing Sankirtana.
Dear Maral Mataji Hare Krsna, please be patient and Krsna will surely fulfill your desire. By just being a devotee and chanting Hare Krsna you are delivering 14 generations and that is such wonderful mercy of Lord Krsna. We cannot even trace back 14 generations names it is such a long time to us. So be optimistic. We don't realize how much good we are doing for our self our families and all others around us. Hare Krsna
Bhaktin Maral mataji,
Following 4 regulative principles and 16 rounds of attentive Maha Mantra japa for 6 months is what it takes to get initiated as a disciple.
Anyone performing daily Harinam / nagar Sankirtan will be moved to the top of the list.
Haribol
Hare Krishna His Grace Jagadatma Prabhu, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
yes, sure that one who takes initiation and gets the Maha Mantra will liberate 100 generations.
my problem is that sometimes it is very difficult to be initiated by Some Guru Maharja's because of big line or i do not know why. and i know how many of sincere Devotees are waiting in the line, because of that it seems that there is no chance for me. maybe it is because of my sinful karma :-(.
please forgive me for telling it openly!
Your servant,
Dear devotees, Hare Krsna.
The quote from Nārada-pañcarātra 1.9.22 clearly states that anyone who accepts initiation into a Krsna mantra can EASILY deliver 100 generations.
As soon as a person receives a Krishna mantra, he becomes situated on the same platform as Lord Narayan himself [see Cc antya 4.192], and easily delivers 100 generations of his family.
This is for you right now.
if you become an initiated devotee thats how much benefit you will be to your family.
What to speak if you become like Dhruva or Pralhada maharaja. Hare Krsna
Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
for example, Prahlada Maharaja prayed for His great demon father to be liberated and Lord Nrisimhadev fulfilled his desire.
Also Dhruva Maharaja while he was leaving material world the spiritual airplane came, but he had one desire and Lord as Paramatma knew that desire and already fulfilled that, because when Dhruva Maharaja was entering to the plane he saw his mother. It was his desire to take his mother to the spiritual world and Lord took her also.
When Devotee becomes a pure Devotee Lord gives Himself to him. He says: "do whatever you want to do with me! I am yours!"
as like He told it to Vasudeva Datta: "You can sell me Vasudeva, I am yoour puppet. and whatever you desire I will fulfill that."
And of course Devotees are very grateful. they understand that how many difficulties had parents in order to bring him up, feeding, giving basic education, protecting...or what to say of giving the human body and giving chance to practice KC.
When pure Devotee only wishes not only his parents but anyone else whom he see or hear about Lord eventuality fulfills his desire.
As like Narotdam Das Thakur just glanced to one man who was having his marriage. That groom was very handsome. And seeing that Narotdam Das Thakur Maharaja thought: "oh, how it would be great if this man becomes Krishna's servant and glorify Krishna using his beauty!"
After 3-4 days that person came to him and took shelter as a disciple and became sincere Devotee.
because of that if we serve and please pure Devotees they will automatically pray for us and our success is guarantied!
